One of the best formatted, sharpest inked and suspenseful plots of the comic world.
The character development is wonderful, and the hero's motivations believable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Batwoman Vs. Medusa
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2013

This volume collects issues 6-11.

Picking right up from the last volume, Batwoman learns that the ghostly Weeping Woman is part of a larger conspiracy of an organization called Medusa. Kate Kane, Batwoman, must fight this sinister cult while dealing with issues in her personal life ranging from her gravely injured cousin to her romantic relationship with a Gotham City Detective, Maggie Sawyer.

Yes, J. H. Williams III does not do the art except for a few covers. This book is still really good.
J. H. Williams III and his writing partner W. Haden Blackman do an extraordinary job of telling a great story nonetheless. Batwoman gets deeper and deeper into the cult of Medusa as they can manifest urban legends into reality through brutal sacrifice. The tension is all throughout the story as this group tries to seize Gotham.

It is really cool to have a Bat-book void of Batman. This really is Batwoman's book and it feels like it. The Night of the Owls crossover that went through a lot of the other Bat-books is void here and I love it that way. Gotham is a huge city that is covered by many human vigilantes and this is the story of one of those capped crusaders. Superman's got Metropolis due to his super powers, but Batman cannot be everywhere as he is only human. It is a great selling point that Kate Kane works on her own outside the Bat-family, is inspired by the bat, and has her own supporting cast. This book has another appealing feature of having more mystical and magic influenced villains as opposed to the Dark Knights psychological madmen and sci-fi inspired horde.

The story progresses in a unique narrative fashion. The timeline is broken up so that it follows characters at different points in time, revealing information that is relevant and having an emotional through line. Many readers, mostly of the monthly comic series, complained that this style is confusing and hard to follow. Since I could not put this book down, I did not have that problem, so it is recommended to read in one sitting in order to keep the time jumps fresh in your head.

The one side plot that bugs me about this series is Agent Chase and the D.E.O. The DCnU is starting to have too many acronym agencies like Marvel and it's annoying. The character of Chase does little more than provide a side antagonist as well as some backup when both parties realize that fighting their shared threat is the bigger issue. The whole D.E.O. subplot drags and is unnecessary.

Ah, the art. No, no Williams on interiors but Amy Reeder and Trevor McCarthy both do a wonderful job. Williams' art is a huge draw of this series. Reeder does the first three issues and is very skilled. She tries to do unconventional, as oppose to rectangle grids with occasional splash pages, panel layouts similar to Williams but nothing as eye catching. Sometimes her art gets a little odd looking but is overall really nice. McCarthy does the last three issues and is closer to Williams in unique panel layouts and is the more appealing of the artists in this book.

Great story, compelling character, with stellar art. Cannot wait for the next volume where Batwoman teams with Wonder Woman!

3.0 out of 5 stars "...Gotham will start believing in monsters again."
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2013

This second volume of Batwoman covers issues #6-11 of the series and continues the story from the first volume. Kate is still trying to locate the missing children and unravel the mystery behind the appearances of monsters and ghosts in Gotham and find out who's behind it all. Meanwhile, her short-lived sidekick is clinging to life all while Kate's job and relationship take a heavy toll on her.

Batwoman throws us back into the fray with J. H. Williams and W. Hayden Blackman writing the stories and Amy Reeder, Trevor McCarthy, Rob Hunter, Richard Friend, and Pere Perez pulling art duty. The art's the real show-stealer here with the twisting, turning panels and stunning, sometimes sickening, visuals. It's not light on gore at times and any panel with Batwoman is a work of art. The writing here gets a bit more confusing as it covers many different stories page-by-page and takes place in many different time frames. One page may be about Kate in current time while the next page is another character two weeks ago followed by a third character on the following page fifteen minutes in the future. You can see where, initially, it's confusing. Once you're a few issues in, you'll get the hang of who's where and what's what or if you're really confused you can give it another read but it should still be something everyone can follow right off the bat. Otherwise, the story's great with monsters popping up in Gotham and Batwoman and the DEO being there to clean up the mess and solve the case.

The presentation's nice with textless covers for all the issues as well as black-and-whites. Extras include some scripts and work-in-progress panels all in a nice hardcover with a dustjacket. A must-have if you want the whole story to this new Batwoman!

And Williams III is the best penciler actually. From Promethea to this, he improved again and again.
His panels and layouts are the very main characters of the story.
